...nhanh trong những năm gần đây, Clarkson Lumber Company, vào mùa xuân năm 1996, kỳ vọng một sự tăng trưởng lớn trong doanh thu. Mặc dù đạt được lợi nhuận cao, công ty đã trải qua giai đoạn thiếu hụt tiền mặt và cảm thấy việc tăng số tiền vay từ Suburban National Bank lên 399,000 USD trong mùa xuân năm 1996 là cần thiết. Khoản vay tối đa mà Suburban Natonal Bank cung cấp cho một khách hàng là 400,000 USD và Clarkson nằm trong giới hạn này bằng việc dựa nhiều vào tín dụng thương mại. Thêm vào đó, Suburban đề nghị ông Clarkson đảm bảo khoản vay bằng tài sản cá nhân. Vì vậy, Keith Clarkson, chủ sở hữu duy nhất và là chủ tịch của Clarkson Lumber Company, tìm kiếm những ngân hàng khác để có thể vay nhiều hơn mà không cần phải đảm bảo khoản vay. Một người bạn đã giới thiệu George Dodge, nhân viên của Northrup National Bank – một ngân hàng lớn hơn, cho ông Clarkson. Hai người này bàn bạc về việc Northrup Bank cung cấp một hạn mức tín dụng 750,000 USD cho Clarkson Lumber. Ông Clarkson nghĩ rằng khoản vay này sẽ giúp tăng lợi nhuận của công ty vì nó cho phép ông ta tận dụng triệt để những khoản chiết khấu thương mại. Sau cuộc bàn bạc này, ông Dodge đã sắp xếp cho phòng tín dụng của Northrup National Bank xác minh ông Clarkson và công ty của ông ta. Clarkson Lumber Company thành lập năm 1981 bởi ông Clarkson và Henry Holtz, anh rể của ông Clarkson. Năm 1994, ông Clarkson mua hết phần vốn góp của ông Holts với giá trị 200,000 USD. Ông Holtz cho phép ông Clarkson trả chậm số tiền này trong vòng...

The official textbook for the class will be an excellent reference book as you start your career, as you may easily find that there will be times, on the job, when you need to reference prior material, or formulas, covered in your corporate finance classes at UF. However, books have become somewhat expensive, so you may, instead, purchase the 11th or 10th Edition of the book, typically at a cheaper price, through various online booksellers. However, there are minor differences between the 10th, 11th, and 12th editions; mainly in the order of the chapter. These differences should not impact your ability to perform well in this class, but you may need to map the chapters in the 10th or 11th Edition to those assigned in the 12th Edition. This is...

...C H A P T E R 8 VALUATION OF I NVE NTOR I E S : A COST-BASIS APPROAC H LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this chapter, you should be able to: •1 •2 •3 •4 •5 •6 •7 •8 •9 •10 Identify major classifications of inventory. Distinguish between perpetual and periodic inventory systems. Identify the effects of inventory errors on the financial statements. Understand the items to include as inventory cost. Describe and compare the cost flow assumptions used to account for inventories. Explain the significance and use of a LIFO reserve. Understand the effect of LIFO liquidations. Explain the dollar-value LIFO method. Identify the major advantages and disadvantages of LIFO. Understand why companies select given inventory methods. Inventories in the Crystal Ball A substantial increase in inventory may be a leading indicator of an upcoming decline in profit margins. Take the auto industry as an example. Detroit’s inventories have been growing for several years because the domestic manufacturers like to run the factories at full capacity, even if they are not selling cars as fast as they can make them. The current arrangement is particularly tough for General Motors. It overproduces and then tries to push the sales with incentives and month-long “blow-out” sales. GM is hoping that the ever-growing market will cover the problem until customer demand grows to the point where the cars are purchased without so many incentives. But recently, all that was growing was GM inventories...
